Delete songs from iTunes library from "recently added" playlist

can you please add a function that removes songs from both the entire library and the recently added playlist by simply right clicking a song while in the "Recently Added" playlist that has the "Delete" function. this is very simple and would make iTunes that much more user friendly.
thanks!
i have no idea where else to submit suggestions like this, apple people aren't user-friendly enough.

We are only other users, such as yourself.
You can send suggestions to Apple here -> http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
Press *Shift Delete* to delete songs from a playlist and also from the library.
(from your signature block)
pc, duh
Not really "duh". I have a pc and it is a Macintosh.
The idea is to put correct info in your signature to help with problems you may be having As an example, if you had problems with your iTunes library disappearing and your signature showed "Sony Vaio", immediately we would know the Sony media software is the problem.
why do you care
So we don't have to ask when you post a question.

  • How do I delete songs in iTunes 7 from my iPod?

    I'm having a problem with the new version of iTunes - on my iPod I can't see what songs are on there or manage my music manually. I have the box checked to manage my music manually but I can't actually see any of the songs to delete the ones I no longer want on there. I can't even see any playlists on the iPod.
    The only thing I see under the new music tab in iTunes is greyed out playlists from my mac.
    Does anyone know how to get in there and delete songs?
    Thanks!

    Wow... that was easy (and I think I clicked everything but that little triangle).
    Thanks so much for the answer!

  • How can I transfer apps from iTunes library from one computer to another?

    I have been unsuccessful in transferring my music over to my new MacBook from my PC Windows Vista. I even subscribed to MobileMe, but it wouldn't work! So, I have decided to take the time to copy all my music to CDs & do it that way, but how am I going to transfer my apps? If I sync my iPhone with my iTunes library on my MacBook once I have transferred the songs, won't the apps be erased on my phone? Is there a way using MobileMe I could do so? Please please please help.

    Do you have access to an external hard drive that you were using for your computer's backup with your PC which has enough storage capacity for your entire iTunes library?
    If so, using the external hard drive would be a good way to do this. You would transfer your iTunes named folder in your My Music folder on your PC followed by transferring the iTunes named folder from the external hard drive to the Music folder on your Mac - with iTunes quit when doing so. This will transfer all music, videos, 3rd party apps, playlists, etc. from your PC to your Mac.
    If most of your iTunes library includes music purchased from the iTunes store, iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased from the iTunes store from an iPod or iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased from the iTunes store only.
    First you need to authorize your new MacBook with your iTunes account with iTunes if you haven't already done so.
    With your iPhone connected to iTunes and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
    If all 3rd party apps do not transfer from your iPhone to your iTunes library on your Mac, you can re-download purchased apps with iTunes on your MacBook and you won't be charged again as long as you use the same iTunes account that was used to purchase the 3rd party apps.

  • Itunes to iphone - "recently added" playlist issues

    My recently added list is organized by date in itunes, but when it transfers to my iphone 5, it's in some random order.  Help!

    Remove the playlist from the phone, add it back again.
    Hmm, is the list reversed on the iPhone compared to iTunes?
    Invert playlist
    The current Play Order is the order shown if you click the heading of the left-most column of numbers, and have the triangle pointing up. This is (or at least should be) what gets synced to the device.
    To reverse the stored order click the triangle so that it points down, right-click on the playlist name, click Copy to Play Order, then click the triangle so that it points up. You should now have the desired order. You can drag anything that isn't quite right up or down the list.

  • Delete Track from iTunes Library if in User Playlist

    Hello
    I want to delete [music] tracks from the main iTunes [10.7] library if they are in a user playlist.
    I saw (on dougscripts.com) an approach where the database id was obtained from the track in the playlist and this was then used to delete from the main library.  However, it does not seem to work:
                        delete (some track of thePlaylist whose database ID is (get database ID of deleteTrack))
      returns error -1708 "... doesn't understand the delete message"
    I think this is to do with a change to the way in which the main library is referenced, but if anyone can shed some light it would be much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I found out what is happening: the tracks are shared from iCloud - via iTunes Match - which renders them un-deletable by AppleScript!

  • Itunes will not open new mp3 files in Recently Added playlist

    I just downloaded the newest update from itunes.
    Before this, whenever i downloaded an mp3 file (not from itunes) it would open in itunes in my Recently Added playlist.
    Now, when i click open in Itunes, the itunes window opens up but the file isnt in the playlist or in my library at all. I have to find the file and add it to my library. Is there a way i can fix this?

    Do you mean using Safari?
    Safari prefs > General.
    Tick Open safe files after downloading.

  • Deleting a song from iTunes library and hard drive on Itunes 11.0

    how do i delete a song from iTunes library and hard drive on Itunes 11.0 at the same time.

    Hello CleveCo, Inc
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    At some point in time, you may have selected the option to prevent that dialog from appearing again when trying to delete tracks from your library. To reset all of iTunes warning dialogs, click the Edit drop down menu and choose Preferences from the list (on a Mac it is *iTunes -> Preferences* ). When the window pops up, head over to the Advanced tab and click the *Reset Warnings* button. Then quit iTunes and relaunch it. That do the trick for you?

  • Deleting Songs From iTunes Library...and Keeping Them On Your iPod

    Will this process allow me to delete songs from my iTunes library, but keep them on my iPod?
    1. When iPod is plugged in, check "Only Sync Checked Items" in iTunes
    2. Delete items from iTunes library.
    3. Add new items to iTunes library.
    4. Sync iPod.
    It should keep the songs I deleted from iTunes on my iPod, right?
    If you need me to be any clearer, please ask.
    EDIT: If this will not work, is there another way to do this? The songs I have are taking up a lot of room on my computer.

    Any auto sync method you use will delete the songs from the iPod if you delete them from iTunes.
    You can delete songs from your iTunes/computer hard drive after transferring them to the iPod, and for this you need to set your iPod to manage the songs manually.
    However, this is an extremely risky option because when (and not if) there comes a time to restore your iPod, which is a very common fix for iPod problems, then all the music would be erased. If you no longer have the music in iTunes (or any other back up), then all that music would be lost.

  • If I've downloaded my music to an itunes library from an external hard drive and I have several duplicate songs, is there an easy way to delete the duplicate songs? Or, do I have to go through my entire library song by song to delete duplicates?

  • Can we copy back songs from iPhone to iTunes library, once if deleted from iTunes library ?

    can we copy back songs from iPhone to iTunes library, once if deleted from iTunes library ?

    Have you not got a backup of your content ? iTunes will only copy back purchases that you made from Apple. For music from other sources you will need to find a program from another source which can copy them back from the phone - if you do a search on google you might find some. Or depending from where you got them from can you re-download them from those sites ?

    i got a new lenovo desktop windows 8.1,installed itunes and synced my iphone 4 no problems. then i imported a cd of songs which showed up in recently added but not in main library ,therefore it did not sync to the iphone. how can i get new songs to appear in the main library and sync properly
    thanks
    john

    Check the songs are really not in the Music section of the library by clicking the magnifying glass in the search box and unticking Search Entire Library if it is ticked, then typing in the name of the album. If the tracks still don't show try closing iTunes and deleting a hidden file called sentinel from inside your iTunes folder. This should make iTunes run an integrity check on the database when you start it again. Make sure the tracks are checked before you try syncing again.

  • How do i move my itunes library from one acc't to another and then delete itunes on the old acc't?

    I would like to set up a media acc't for my family of four to listen to our music library and view all of our photo's.  Then I would like to delete Itunes from my personal acc't.  I have been able to establish a media acc't for all family member's and opened Itunes (i can see all of my purchased songs, but not the ones i have downloaded from personal CD's) to use however, i need assistance in moving over all my music and then deleted the old Itunes from my personal acc't.  Can anyone assist me?
    Thanks.

    Locate the song files in the Finder, drag them to a location in the /Users/Shared/ folder, load the shared iTunes library, drag them into the open iTunes application window, and delete the old iTunes library. If desired, you can move the old iTunes library to the Shared folder instead of individually moving the music files.

  • Transferred itunes library from Windows XP PC to new Windows 7 PC. plugged in 3rd gen Ipod. Ipod icon appears along with playlists, music etc. Songs are grayed out and won't play. Please help!

    I recently transferred itunes library from windows XP PC to new Windows 7 PC. The transfer was successful, however when I plug my 3rd gen Ipod Nano into the new PC, the Ipod icon appears along with the music, playlists, etc. The songs are shown but are 'grayed out' and wont play or sync.The 'Devices & Printers' window in new PC shows icon for Ipod driver & is OK. The icon for the Ipod appears but depicts a delta shaped warning icon that states that the Ipod is'not operating properly'. Tried troubleshooting. The troubleshooting message states the the Ipod is 'disconnecting'. Can you help me with this problem?        

    Then, I dropped the entire itunes file from the old PC (XP) into an empty external drive.
    That "itunes file from the old PC"?  Is that the iTunes folder, from the old PC, that was in the user home folder's Music folder?
    All of the library, playlists, etc. from the ipod as they always have been are shown, by they are 'grayed out' and will not open or play.
    That's on the iPod, correct?  Are all of your old playlists in iTunes, from the old PC, still there in iTunes on the new PC?  Are the songs in iTunes still playable?
    This document provides the steps to transfer a complete iTunes library between two computers.  See the section called External drive.
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer - Apple Support
    There are many steps, but this is a summary.  (1) On the old PC, consolidate all of your iTunes data into the iTunes folder.  (2) Copy this iTunes folder to the external drive.  (3) On the new PC (that has iTunes installed but NOT running), replace its existing iTunes folder with the one from the old PC (on the external drive).  When you run iTunes, it uses the iTunes folder from the old PC, and it should look like iTunes on the old PC (with all the playlists, ratings, play count, etc.), and your iPod will see the iTunes library as the same iTunes library (because it is the same library).
    If you did something different, and the old PC is still accessible, you may want to try it using the method from the linked document.
